"So, should we test it?"
Anna's heart skipped a beat, never expecting Noel to behave this way. She thought Noel would simply let it go this time or even if he fought back, he would just say random things.
She blinked a few times as Noel kept staring into her eyes as if he was serious to do it.
Ultimately, Anna looked away and said, "That's right. I have been thinking about this the whole night. Your ancestor was the greatest general in history from the Muivell Kingdom, your ancestor's wife was a royalty from the Greenwood Kingdom, but the Sword Saint's identity, who was supposed to be the prince, was not known to the world. Don't you think it's strange?
"If you take another look at it, your father marries your mother, a daughter from a powerful family of the Greenwood Kingdom as if he's trying to direct you there…"
"Chickening now?" Noel snorted and let her go. Although he wanted to keep pushing her, her words indeed made some sense. He moved away and left the bed while asking, "Are you implying that my father wanted me to find the Sword Saint?"
"Yes." Anna nodded with a calm expression even though her heart was still beating rapidly.
Noel thought for a moment and asked another question. "Then, what's the purpose for this coincidence? I don't think meeting the Sword Saint is the purpose."
"But do you seriously forget about your ancestor? Your ancestor created the first Demon Extermination Army that changed its name to the Demon Banner Army."
"What did you say?" Noel widened his eyes in shock.
"You seriously don't know anything? I almost forgot that you were ignorant when we first met. I guess you've been lazying around without learning something." Anna shook her head helplessly.
"Demon Banner Army, Ancestry, Greenwood Kingdom, and scheme." Noel squinted his eyes, contemplating.
"If you don't mind, I'd like to access the library in this place to learn more about the history of your family."
Noel couldn't really trust Anna, since she could hide some truth for her convenience. But there was one thing that he could use. "In exchange for allowing you to use the library, I'm going to make sure your information is correct by using the Spirit Seal."
"But you also have to tell me something…"
"I'll give you the information I found as well, but at the level I can tell you."
"You're not going to trick me again, right? Like saying one word and tell me that's the level you can tell me." Anna narrowed her eyes.
"I can at least promise you that I don't get any information if it's truly the case and share far more than that."
"…" Anna looked at Noel's eyes for a while. Noel could be lying, but Anna chose to play this way to show that she wanted to solve the hatred between them. She accepted, "Fine. Let's do it this way."
If Noel truly tricked her again when she trusted him this much, she had to consider her option in solving the hatred between them.
Noel nodded and said, "If that's the case, follow me. I'll show you the library."
"Let me fix my hair a bit, I just woke up, you know."
"Whatever. Go to the first floor if you're ready. I won't wait for too long." Noel harrumphed and left the room.
A moment later, Anna came out of the room to find Noel, but surprised to see him staring at the same picture that piqued her interest too. The picture of Noel's ancestor.
"Did you find something?" Anna asked while walking down the stairs.
"No." Noel turned around immediately since she had come. Without wasting any more time, he showed the library, which also had been covered with dust.
The library wasn't a big room. It was at the size of Noel's room. Still, this 4x6 meters room contained at least a thousand books for her to read.
"Remember, we can't be too long here because I don't want to raise anyone's suspicion."
p "Of course, I know what kind of book I want to read, so I should be able to find them quick."
Noel nodded and immediately left the room. He had another place in his mind, which he should visit.
The Sword Saint said that he could see one's soul that contained memory. But Noel didn't have any memory about the hidden room in his father's office. So, that memory could come from his father or Ardagan himself. After all, Ardagan was a living spirit.
He didn't know if the Sword Saint could use his ability on Ardagan, but this one was more feasible than the first theory.
Hence, as soon as Noel arrived at his father's office, he immediately walked into the shelf where the hidden room was located.
"What were the books my father took out back then?" Noel closed his eyes, recounting the memory he had in that dream. He also kept looking at the books to jog his memory.
His hand reached for the book next to his knee, the book in front of his chest, and the one in front of his eyes. "I think these are the three books."
Noel hesitated because the clue might not be here, but since he had nothing to lose, he pulled out Ardagan and cut his palm, dropping the blood on those three spots.
Suddenly, three runes appeared in those locations, triggering the mechanism behind the shelf.
"!!!" Noel's expression brightened. "It's real. The hidden room is real."
The shelf was pulled into the wall as Noel found the same stone wall that asked for his blood to open.
Noel immediately smeared his blood on the wall as the latter recognized its blood and started moving, revealing everything inside.
And the truth was revealed because everything looked similar to what he had seen in his dream, except for the fact that Ardagan was with him instead of planted on the stone at the opposite side of the room.
"Still, is this truly the right answer? I don't have any idea about this room if I don't meet the Sword Saint, so will my father actually leave something in this place?"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
"So, should we test it?"
Anna's heart skipped a beat, never expecting Noel to behave this way. She thought Noel would simply let it go this time or even if he fought back, he would just say random things.
